Melbourne Glass Polishing

Q: Does the glass need to be removed to be repaired?

No – all repairs are done on-site with the glass in place. There’s no need for removal, saving you time, money, and disruption.

Q: Can you take out water hard spots?

Yes – we can remove most hard water staining caused by sprinkler systems, pool splash, or mineral runoff. If the damage is too severe or has etched into the glass, we’ll assess and advise on the best option.

Q: Can you remove very deep graffiti or acid scratches?

Yes – in most cases. Our grinding process can remove even severe acid etching or deep graffiti scratches without replacing the glass. If the damage is beyond repair, we’ll let you know upfront.

Q: What is considered a deep glass scratch?

The definition of a “deep” scratch varies. A glazier may consider any visible scratch too deep to repair, while online sources often claim that anything catching a fingernail is beyond fixing. In reality, that’s not the case. A truly deep scratch usually has a ragged edge with tiny chips broken out of the glass—often over 100 microns deep. Experienced glass polishers can routinely remove these, unless they’re too close to the edge. The most severe form of glass damage is known as angle grinder splatter (or spatter in the UK), which often exceeds 500 microns in depth. See our angle grinder splatter removal page ›

Q: Does it create a lot of dust?

Polishing glass is mostly a wet process, so it does not create dust. However, the initial stages use a dry abrasive, which can produce dust. We take extra care to protect surrounding surfaces, often spending more time on dust control than polishing. Clients frequently praise how clean their premises are left.

Q: Can scratches be removed from tinted glass?

Yes – scratches can often be removed from tinted glass, but it depends on the type of tint: Factory-tinted glass (where the tint is within the glass itself): ✅ Yes, we can safely restore this. The polishing process won’t affect the colour. Aftermarket film-tinted glass (where tint is applied as a surface film): ⚠️ No, we can’t polish this. The film would be damaged . However, we can remove the film, polish the glass underneath, and re-tint through our partner if required.

Q: Can you remove scratches from toughened glass?

Yes. It is possible to repair scratches on tempered glass efficiently due to the glass density. Our scratch removal system is effective on laminated, curved, plate, and mirrored glass as well. We can handle any thickness of glass, including single glazing strength.
